In Mexico and Peru Professor Gates explores the almost unknown history of the significant numbers of black people—the two countries together received far more slaves than did the United States —brought to these countries as early as the 16th and 17th centuries, and the worlds of culture that their descendants have created in Vera Cruz on the Gulf of Mexico, the Costa Chica region on the Pacific, and in and around Lima, Peru. Watch full episode.

  • :O I'm black! I knew it!!

  • @adamlivs

    Damn just when you think your gettin the the unslanted view.

    I'm I missing something.This is Gates jr in this clip.

    BUT HE WAS BORN IN1913!!!

    According to the credits at the end.

    I find it unsettling(ly)hard to believe that this man in the clip is close to 100yrs and looks like that.

  • @stasisnu18

    Black latin women are my kryptonite..or should I say chicktonite(lol sorry)

    Look how he subtly flirts w these women.Dont blame him

  • great series, really enjoyed it. thx for the upload.

  • @BladedgeES Yes of course I know why they are here.

  • @mycrazylittlestar of course i know geography, why do you think there is alot of Mexican immigrants in the usa? obvious reason: im sure you know the answer...

  • @BladedgeES Just in case you don't know geography Panama is connected to Colombia and Costa Rica that's how we have our "polleras". Brazil is close to Argentina. Eu posso falar um pouco português, e sim eu estou misturado com sangue brasileira. Some Mexicans are nice people my sistr's nanny is one of them.

  • @BladedgeES Nop my friend I'm Brazilian/Panamanian and Mexican and majority of them actually do not all of them tough.

  • @mycrazylittlestar lol, how ironic. arent you part black? most blacks live in the inner city--section 8, and also fail to go to college.

  • @BladedgeES Not trying to sound boorish but majority of Mexicans fail to go to college or live in inner cities.
